Just beckuse the German govern- ment is: taking charge of food supplies and designating certain days on which meat cannot be sold or served, days when fats and lard cannot be offered for sale &nd certain other commodi- ties restricted does not of necessity mean that that country is getting down to ‘hardpan when it comes to foodstuffs. It is to be remembered that during the early days of the war the necessity of conserving the sup- plies was recognimed and the people ‘were given instructions concefning them which they were required to ob- serve. This has unquestionably pro- duced the results desired, which with the saving secured through the meas- wures now prescribed and the an- nouncement that the crops are satis- factory ought to contribute materially to the prevention of any possible starving out of the nation. Germany to all appearances has an- ticipated long in advance just what it can depend upon in the shape of resources and it is regulating the use of them in accordance therewith. That it has been handicapped jn many ways by the blockades_ instituted by the al- lies cannot be questioned, but it is through conservation that it must overcome them, the need of which has been increased by the activity af the submarines in the Baltic. Not only is this likely to cut off supplies of provisions, but it places a tremendous check upon the importation of metals and _ores so greatly needed in the pro- duction of ammunition. Germany ‘has long been utilizing everything in the way of scrap that could be collected, but until there is evidence to the con- trary it must be looked upon as pro- visions against a rainy day made suf- cause of the position that is taken is that which has been handed down by the federal court at Memphis, Tenn., relative to the Harrison drug act, wherein the judge maintains that it is the drug peddlers and sellers, rather than the unfortunate victims who shouid pay the full penalty. It must be recognized that if there is going to be a stop put to the sale of habit-forming drugs, that it is necessary to do something more than apprehend the users. They may be - arrested and fined or sent to a hos- pital, but unless their detention re- sults in making new men of them they are open to the same temptations just the minute they get out unless there is a determined effort to drive out of business those who stand ready to furnish them with the barmful nar- cotics. “Though it remains to <be deter- mined whether the users of drugs are not to be included under the provi- Bions of th€ act it is of prime im- portance that the dealers and peddlers should be given the greater attention. The victims usually indicate in some way or other who is responsible for keeping them in slavery and when roncerted effort is made to drive those people out of business a real benefit * will be provided not only for the in- fividual, but for humanity in geperal for as long as they are tolerated they are a menace, holding out a trap for the uninitiated as well as encourage- meni for those addicted. The drug bvil should be fought at every turn, but too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the need of giving full and deserved punishment to those who make a handsome living from the de- moralization of others. " YALE’'S ATHLETIC STANDARD. Appeals have been made to Yale by the athletic authorities of Harvard 2nd Princeton for the reinstatement pf LeGore and the other athletes who have been barred from future partici- Pation in that college’s sports because of the breaking of the rules concern- " ing professionalism. It is recognized by ‘these institutions that the disbarring of these men amounts to the crippling of the Yale team, a fact which is thoroughly un- derstood by Yale, and it is apparent - that the appeals come for the ‘purpose of eliminating any onesidedness which 4s likely to result because thereof in. the big football games which are yet to be played. Yale's weakness doesn't need to be pointed out and even though it might not presént a cham- plonship team with those men rein- stated, it would nevertheless be a rep- fesentative asgregation. Just how Yale can comply with the requests, if it is inclined to, is diffi- cult to understatd since the action which it has taken has heen for the purpose of maintaining a standard in athletics and that cannot mean one thing now and something else at an- other. time, if it is soing to amount to anything. Just because the dis- barring of players cripples a team ought'not to be used as an argument overlooking the penalty in one case and applying it in another. It it is going to amount to anything all must be treated alike, elso there is no standard and those who are the star players will feel at liberty to break the rules where the less im- portant player “is .called strictly to account. Yale cannot consistently Te- instate the men and look upon its ac- tion as proper discipline. . AIDING CARRANZA. _ Under the government of Carranza in Mexico, which has been recognized By this country, the protection of Ametican lives and property is de- manded. This doesn’t mean that this 'eountry is prepared to go into Mex- io gor the purpose of heipidg out “the leader, but it is will- ing to do what it can to support that ;sgu-nm;m put down the revoly- | tlon that exists.

PENNSYLVANIA’S COAL TAX. There has just been handed down by the supreme’ court of Pennsylvania a decision which declares that the an- thracite cal tax law is not valid. This means that there is in the hands of the coal operators a sum amounting to about nine million dollars, which has been collected from the people through the retaflers for the purpose of meeting a tax which is not legal and which will not be collected. The question now arlses as to what the operators will do with the money. There can be little or no question as to where the money belongs. When in 1913 Pennsylvania passed - that anthracite law to give certain sections of the state the benefit of what would be gained through such taxation, the operators set to work to get the money necessary to meet the tax from the SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE gl R BB, keep the ess mu they ere put through a thin starch water when laundered. 1t granulated lye is sifted down the drain of the kitchen sink once of twice & week the pipe will never be- come clogged with grease.

All linen should be hung stright to dry, and all pieces will wear better if ‘a third or half of the napkin or tablecioth is hung over the line. OLD LAMP FRAME. Have you in your collection of relics a wire frame left from a worn out lamp? If o the following sugges- tion will make it possible for you to rip out the frame and put it to good use. After removing the dust get the exact measurements from top to bot- tom and the size of the open space at the “top. With these figsures in your mind or on your memorandum pad, buy sufficient asbestos to cover the entire frame or buy muslin and lambs’ wool to make a padding to be placed around the frame. Then pur- chase sufficient silk, linen or cretonne to cover the heat proof frame. At the top of the shade place a doll's head to act as a handie, or if your finer sensibilities will not permit of such a thing use a loop of cording for the purpose. By this time you are anxicus to know what is to be done iwith the covered frame. It is to act s a cozy for your teapo HANGING PICTURES! When hanging pictures on the wall always hang them with the face to the wall first, then turn them without unhooking the wire. This leaves the wire twisted up at the hook and when they are hung this way the jarring of the house will have no effect on them. HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

They, tacked the amount onto the retailer’s bill and the retailer passed it on to the consumer. It meant an additional 25 cents a ton which the public has had to pay in anticipation of the claim of Perrsylvania for two years. Though it presents big difficulties that money shoul@l be returned to those from whom it was collected. They are the only ones who are entitled to it for certainly it does not belong to the coal operators, and any retention of it would be open to the charge of get-i| ‘ting money under false pretenses. How they are going to wash their hands of this money is something for the oper- ators to worry about, and while the suggestion which has been made that it be returned through a reduction in price for the nexi two vearg might not get it all back just where it be- longs, it would mean much good to the general public. The one regret- table thing, however, is that it has re- quired two vears to find out that the law was unconstitutional.

TO KEEP SINK CLEAN. The sink should be washed down after the washing up after each meal and once each day a handful of soda hould be placed over the sink grat- g and a kettle of bolling water poured over it in order to dissolve and wash away any grease that has acculmulated in the pipe and ' which, if allowed to remain, would decom- pgse and give rise to an uahealthy ador. DJCTATES OF FASHION. Triple shoulder capes autumn coats. appear on Long tussor coats are in great favor to wear with lingerie dresses. Soft tulle frills and open throats are very becoming to the youns. The sombre suit may be lightened ty adding a vest and collar of check. Daik blue stockings are the proper thing, if worn with black patent leather boots. Astrakhan and gray ermines are among the prettiest furs for the new Russian blouses. Black velvet basques are made to wear with skirts of silk or cloth. The new princess robe shows the normal waist line and full gathered skirts. Boiders of black ribbon velvet ap- pear on the black grosgrain cos- tumes. One piece princess effects make a new snd becoming feature for autumn models. Dark plaids faced with scarlet are among the most delightful autumn dresses. Dance frocks are of such. delicate and fragtie fabrics they must be con- stantly replenished. Short coats of brocade will be worn with cotton gowns and they should always match in color. s The pale parchment tint and the color krown as tete de negre are the popular shades of brown, This is the day of China eilk, crepe de chine, Ttalian silk and mercerized knitting for underwear materials in place of the muslins, as the latter fail to cling in the necessary way under the slim outer garments that are the present fashion.

Bits of butter saved from the table can be gathered up and used for cook- Ing purposes. . The oiled paper often used inside boxes or tins of crackers makes good wrapping ' for the children’s school lunches. TO PRESERVE CUT FLOWERS. The only drawback to cut flowers is that they wither so quickly, and in keoping them fresh some seem to have more luck than others. For in etance. the matter of violets, it is possible to wear them several times w®hout noticing the overpowering stale odor which proclaims them be- yond redemption. Of course, many Deople find that they cannot wear cut flowers even for one afternoon, because, in some dases the body heat seems to wilt them, but if this can be avoided it is quite possible to find a bunch almost as fresh the sec- | ond Jay as on the first, if they were properly guarded over night. Keep the box that they came in and when you take them oft hoid tho stems under running water for a few minutes, taking care not to wat the violets themselves. Then wrap them up in the oiled paper and Dut them back in the covered box outside the window if it is cool, if not in the refrigerator, but in either case keep them wrapped.- This treaiment seems to resore the flow- ers and hold in the delicious odor whick. 80 soon becomes rank if they are kept unwrapped in a_close room. Some people think a pinch of salt in the water will keep cut flowers tresl: longer and so it does in_some ceses. In others it seems to change the coiors a little. With roses it is succeesful, but not so much so with violets. A piece of .gum camphor is said to be an excellent preservative in the water, and others advocate a small Jump of charcoal, but in any case the water should be changed daily and the-flowers put in a cool place over night. DOLL CUSHION. ‘A _mnew method of decorating a squarc satin cushion or sachet is to procurc a small fluffy haired doll or a ‘kewpie” drape it in chiffon the color of the cushion in lieu of clothing and manufacture a pair of butterfly wings out of chiffon edged with wire wrapped in satin to hold them out on either side, and then lay the doll from corner to corner in the center of the cushion. CONCERNING WOMEN. Even in India women now have mu- nicigai suffrage. Queern. Elizabeth of Belgium holds a degree of doctor of medicine. In England women are eligible to become mayors, aldermen and town councilers. ! Miss Elizabeth Jackson of Depere, Wis., is rapidly gaining fame as a de- signer and beautifier of parks. Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, the famous French actres, is vice-president of the Cripples’ Welfare Society. ALUMINUM GRIDDLES. An aluminums griddle is light and convenient to handle, but you must remember not to rease it as you would an old fashioned griddle, for the cakes will not stick to aluminum anyway, and grease burns and blackens its surface. CLEAN THE SWEEPER. At least once a week the carpet swecper should be thoroughly cleaned and the brush freed from hairs and threads. The bearings shoyd be fre- quently used, and a feather will be easy to apply the oil with. RECIPES, Pesch Pudding—Sift one pint of flour with one teaspoon of baking powder, one-half teaspoon of salt and one-half teaspoon of sugar. Work in- to_this two tablespoons of lard. Mix with three-fourths cup of very cold water Have all the ingredients very cold, mix quickly and handle as_lit- tle as possible. Roll out thin. Take the half of a preserved peach for the core of .each dumpling. Cut the dough into pieces just large enough to wrap the halves of peaches, roll up and bake in a_quick oven. Serve with a hard sauce flavored with sirup from the peaches. Baked Custard—Four cups scalded milk, six eggs, one-half . cup sugar, teaspoon salt, few gratinzs of Jiutmeg. Heat eggs slightly, ad sugar and salt, pour on slowly scalded milk, strain in buttered mold, set in pan of hot water. Sprinklc with nutmeg and bake in a slow oven until firm—which may be readily determined by running a eil- ver knife through custard. If knife comes out clear custard is done. Dur- ing baking cdre must be taken that water surrounding mold does not reach boiling point os custard will whey. Eggs and milk in combination must be cooked at a low temperature.
